Description

Charging interface device for a vehicle
The invention relates to a charging interface device for a vehicle according to claim 1.
Charging interface devices of the type mentioned here, which are sometimes also referred to as charging sockets, in particular HV charging sockets, should be sealed dust-tight and water-tight, in particular according to IP 67. The key area of the charging interface device is the plug contact point of the charging interface device. It is known to provide corresponding covers or plugs to cover the plug contacts of the charging interface both before and after the charging process. In this case, the cover or the plug needs to be opened or removed manually before the charging process and should be closed again or reinserted after the charging process. This is particularly problematic in the case of automated systems.
In particular, in the case of motor-operated external covers, the existing cover or plug should be manually operated when the charging plug is plugged or inserted into the charging interface. The disadvantage is that the cover of the charging interface and in particular the plug, if present, cannot be closed or reinserted during the charging process by the robot, so that the plug contacts are not protected.
DE 102017201365 a1 discloses a charging interface device for a motor vehicle, which charging interface device comprises a socket arranged in a recess and has a pivotable cover which can be detachably connected to the socket and a pivotable cover which reversibly closes the recess, wherein the cover and the cover can be pivoted between a closed position and an open position, wherein the cover in the open position is arranged within a cover pivoting stroke which can be pivoted from the open position to the closed position by means of a motor drive and is brought with it to close during a cover pivoting movement. The aforementioned problems arise here.
